How many kick ups can you do?

Always been woeful at them, but since lockdown have been practicing. Keep a ball near by desk and every hour or so spend 5 mins having a go.

When I started I could barely do 10 in a row on my dominant leg. Just managed 31 in a row (15 one one leg 16 on the other).

Being in a room surrounded by things which can break if struck certainly helps concentration.

Funnily enough it was watching all clips players are posting on social media of them doing it with loo roll that inspired me in the first place.

I thought, I’ve got no chance at doing with that but I might as well use this global crisis to learn to do it with a ball.

Can do a hundred plus but only on right foot. Could probably do a lot more but it’s boring and never tried. No knees or headers or anything fancy. On left foot, about 2.

Yeah, but your dad's not a policeman, is he? And mine is taking us to Disney land this year. We're going when it's closed and we'll have it all to ourselves because my dad is best friends with the bloke who owns it.

Me and the Keepy Uppy King played in the same primary school team but he could not command a place in the High School team.

I bought his paper round from him for Β£6 in 1976. Changed supplier and marketed for customers. Within a month I was making Β£6 a week!

Lads, lads.

There’s only one way to settle this...

Who could do more kick ups?

Chairman Mao or Adolf Hitler
